futures io is the largest futures trading community on the planet, with over 90,000 members. At futures io, our goal has always been and always will be to create a friendly, positive, forward-thinking community where members can openly share and discuss everything the world of trading has to offer. The community is one of the friendliest you will find on any subject, with members going out of their way to help others. Some of the primary differences between futures io and other trading sites revolve around the standards of our community. Those standards include a code of conduct for our members, as well as extremely high standards that govern which partners we do business with, and which products or services we recommend to our members.

At futures io, our focus is on quality education. No hype, gimmicks, or secret sauce. The truth is: trading is hard. To succeed, you need to surround yourself with the right support system, educational content, and trading mentors – all of which you can find on futures io, utilizing our social trading environment.

With futures io, you can find honest trading reviews on brokers, trading rooms, indicator packages, trading strategies, and much more. Our trading review process is highly moderated to ensure that only genuine users are allowed, so you don’t need to worry about fake reviews.

We are fundamentally different than most other trading sites:

We are here to help. Just let us know what you need.

We work extremely hard to keep things positive in our community.

We do not tolerate rude behavior, trolling, or vendors advertising in posts.

We firmly believe in and encourage sharing. The holy grail is within you, we can help you find it.

We expect our members to participate and become a part of the community. Help yourself by helping others.

You'll need to register in order to view the content of the threads and start contributing to our community. It's free and simple.

jep. it's 10 days only from now on (unless you did a 20 day combine before the change, which you would know as you would've gotten an e-mail in that regard)
however the profit goals were lowered so that it's easier to meet the combine targets even within 10 days.

Is it possible to hold positions overnight or is the program limited to intra-day only?

Yes, they have changed to a standard 10-day period. (People who have previously done 20-day Combines have been grandfathered in, and can still do them; there was an email on this sent to those who qualify.)

You can still set up a custom combine for 20 days (or more!) if you request it and if it is approved:

TopstepTrader

Lastly, traders can and always will be able to contact us to customize a Trading Combine which will allow them to have 20 or more trading days. Customizing allows us to work with anyone to find the account parameters, duration and objective that best fits with their trading to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity for success.

Hope that clarifies things a bit.

It's worth checking out the discussion on that thread to fill in the details.

I wanted to officially announce that we have lowered the profit targets as listed in the email/image below that went out on Friday to those in the TopsepTrader community.

I am very excited about this for a couple reasons, first I am a trader and feel these are very achievable with discipline, patience and a good trading plan. Second, with the exceptional performance this year from our Funded Traders we are able to get more approved by our Equity Partner.

Scalpingtrader- We still have the 20 day option available to anyone. We just stream lined what is displayed on the site as first time vistiors were getting confused with multiple options and most funded traders come from the 10 day Combine.

You would need to contact us to customize your Combine if you want a duration that is 20 days or longer.

Hope that helps.
